“Alright.” Pork Zhang agreed cheerfully.
“I am also ready.” Pork Wang, unwilling to be outdone, also shouted loudly from the side.
Lin Changshu exchanged some polite words with him before bringing his family to their original stall.
“We’re going to the market first.” Mrs. Zhang said to Lin Ziyin with a smile, “Your aunt will come find you guys later.”
“Okay.” Lin Ziyin agreed with a nod and smile.
“Grandpa, I’m leaving the kids with you.” Lin Ziyin said to the old man.
The old man and the two children sat next to the tofu baskets, taking turns watching the tofu and making sure nobody bumped into the kids.
Although Lin Yanzhi was young, Lin Changting had frightened him into behaving, warning that if he misbehaved, he might be stolen away by the bustle of the market and never find his way home.
So, once at the market, Lin Yanzhi was especially obedient, quietly sitting in the old man’s lap, watching their tofu and business operations with Lin Changting.
Ever since Lin Ziyin’s last visit to the market, many people who had tasted the delicious tofu had come to inquire time and again. The Lin Family hadn’t shown up, leaving many people disappointed.
Today when they saw them, they immediately gathered around them, many of them young maids from wealthy families.
“I heard, this tofu can be used for cooking?” A man who looked like a manager asked.
“Yes.” Lin Ziyin replied with a smile, “You can use it to make dumplings or for cooking.”
“Give me ten jin.” The manager demanded ten jin upon hearing this.
“Alright.” Lin Changshu agreed cheerfully, efficiently sliced the tofu and handed it over, accepting the copper coins, “Sir, I must remind you that the weather is hot, tofu can’t stay for long. Since you’ve bought it, don’t let it sit overnight. Even in a few days, you’ll have to be careful.”
“Okay.” The manager nodded, clearly remembering his reminder.
Next, even more people gathered around, and the ten or so baskets of tofu they had brought were all sold out in no time. The remaining three baskets of tofu were not meant for sale, they were intended for making tofu skewers.
“I’ll take ten skewers.” Seeing the dwindling tofu supply, many customers became anxious.
“Will we run out?” Someone shouted.
Lin Ziyin, Guo Huiniang, and Lin Zige were all sweating profusely from the rush, “If we run out, there’s always next time.”
Lin Ziyin replied, smiling.
“That’s not acceptable, we’ve been waiting for ages.” Someone complained.
“Miss, is there any tofu left?” Several servants came over to inquire, so Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou hurriedly declined.
“Isn’t there some left over? Give some to us,” requested a man who seemed to be a butler.
“That’s not fair, we have been waiting.” Those in line disagreed.
“These are meant for making tofu skewers only.” Lin Ziyin explained with a smile, “If you really need some, you can come to the Lin Family in Shili Village tomorrow. However, we will require a deposit.”
“Deal.” The visitor did not hesitate and immediately handed over the money to Lin Changshu.

“This?” Lin Changshu seemed a little tentative.
It wasn’t that he despised the growing tofu business, but their mill at home was small. If they accepted too many orders, they feared they wouldn’t be able to keep up.
“Brother, you handle it. At most, we’re just making an extra twenty jin per day.” Lin Ziyin suggested.
Lin Changshu nodded, and after accepting orders from a few more families, he refused to take any more.
Those who didn’t manage to buy some regretfully left.
“Are they crazy?” After sowing the seeds, many people from Shili Village had also come to the market. The booming business of the Lin Family was impossible to overlook.
Madame Yan and several other women stood in the crowd, watching the bustling Lin Family in shock. The business was too hot to handle, they even had to turn away customers who came to their doorstep.
Instantly, Madame Yan felt as if a large stone was weighing heavily on her chest.
